Choose Your Methods of Resistance Wisely

Less Karl, more Kylie. ... Alternatively: less Marx, more Minogue.

I say:

We had both been curious about 'democratic socialist' organisation Resistance and had spent a few afternoons hanging out at their HQ in Abercrombie St... let's just say they weren't the liveliest bunch ever, and humour was our therapy. ;o)

Heh, that might be my new motto for 07 - less Marx, more Minogue.
On a more serious note, I hope you haven't alluded to the inner city Sydney street of Abercrombie. I haven't caught up with a houseload of friends (who can really only be described as "fringers" or "disgruntled") for awhile, but Jesus, could they have fallen so far!?

I say: I came for the Kylie pic, but I stayed for the anecdote about how dull those abercrombie political manifesters are!

You know, most of the interesting people I know have been attracted to socialism at some point, and it can be refreshing to hang around a Resistance member from time to time... however spending hours in what another guy described as "essentially a three-storey basement" with only Che Guevara pop art for visual stimulation can drain even the most patient of postmodernists...

Hey Justin,

Good to see you , we couldn't stop giggling...

Let's hope that the path or Resistance remains obscure... I mean 'democratic socialism'???

Hiya Cibby,

'Spinning Around' is not a bad description of my headspace right now, with my ear still acting up and all. I'm actually listening to 'Yeah! A Woman' at the moment (a mash of Usher and 'Red Blooded Woman'). Glad you enjoyed the pic.

Sounds like you've had your fair share of casual run-ins... they're really just mostly harmless. ;oD

Thanks for your patience ppl, I've been neglecting my messages of late,
Epiphanie
